The 2025-26 season has already reached the quarter mark. With the league-wide schedule compressed to make way for the winter Olympics, things are moving quickly.
As a result of that schedule, the Blue Jackets screamed through their latest 10-game block in just 18 days - capped off by 6 games in the last 9 days. In that 9 day stretch stretch, they played in all 4 time zones.
Typically, teams look at their season as a series of 10-game blocks, so they can better gauge where they stand over a longer stretch of data. Now that they have hit two of those blocks, the season is a quarter of the way finished.
